Vista - Belarc Reporting Wrong AV Version

09-09-2009

Vista HB SP2

I'm currently running Avast 4.8.1351, VPS file version 090909-0. When I run
Belarc Advisor it reports
avast! antivirus 4.8.1229 [VPS 081122-0].

Security Center reports avast! is up to date and virus scanning is on but I
can't tell which version it thinks is running.

The computer is running great and I would hate to jeopardize it trying to
fix this little bug.

Fer crissakes, Avast MUST have an internal way to check and see if
your version is up to date.

Do NOT depend on Windows to do your update checking.

Patient: "Doc, it hurts when I do this"
Doctor: "Then don't do that"

Don't worry about it. Belarc tells me I am running Avira and Kaspersky. I'm actually running Norton and have never had either of those programmes installed, even as trials

lol more angry replies from dissastified customers of a freeware app. i guess we should all create our own programs for free and see if we can support them on a daily basis free of charge, always compatible with new apps.
